Back before I was born, my Dad used to rent housing to Army Air Corp airmen and used to get 100 plus octane gas sometimes from them (rationing was in affect) and said it made his car run really hot. These were much different cars and probably doesn't apply to today's vehicles.
I'm fairly certain that is backwards, the higher the octane rating the cooler the fuel burns. More Octane does not equate to more power.
If you have a digital thermometer you can actually see how much cooler your engine runs with higher octane fuel.
And internal combustion engines runs most efficiently as close to boiling as they can be controlled, so most vehicles run just fine on regular unleaded. Hans
